PrologueThe Tamil National Council had organised the referendum in United Kingdomon 30 th & 31 st Jan 2010 based on Vaddukoddai resolution that was declared byTULF on the 14 th day of May 1976, in order to reinstate the demand andrevalidate it.This revalidation which supports the declarations mentioned in it and alsoreaffirms the continuous genocidal acts on our people.The Tamil Nation has experienced the following:1. Witnessed the two major masterminded communal riots in 1977 and 1983 and not tomention the smaller riots,2. Since 1983, the North and East Tamil homeland did not enjoy the democratic rights asa result of the Emergency Laws and Prevention of Terrorism Act implemented by theSinhala Nation,3. The Government that was mandated by the Sinhala Nation has rejected to investigateand punish those responsible for the extra judicial killings before and after May 2009.The Tamil Nation has decided to declare a nation that was already declared by theVaddukoddai Resolution.By this voting, The Tamil speaking People declare;‣ That they are a distinctive nationality‣ Who live in territorial integrity in the continuous landscape of north and east Ceylonwith their distinctive culture‣ They have the capability of establishing their own economical structure withoutdepending on the economical setup of the Sinhala nation centralised in Colombo‣ They have the experience and are of the opinion that they cannot lead a descentdemocratic life with dignity under any institution established by the Sinhala nationThe Tamil Nation has voted to determine its own future under the VaddukoddaiResolution.We therefore bring this to your good office to support our democratic rightto liberate our nation and use your authority to organise a referendumunder the supervision of United Nation among the Tamil Nation in theNorth and East and for those who fled to other countries (Diaspora Tamils)in the west and rest of the world.Tamil National Council, 164 Pinner Road, Harrow, Middlesex HA1 4JJ.

At the discussion a referendum based around the issuesbecame apparent.Then the dialogue moved on with the scrutiny for the model/representation of thereferendum.To begin with France referendum model was discussed in length and most of themembers preferred to place before the public. Provisional date was fixed for the 10thof May 2009 and this date was eventually reassigned to be the public discussion.Thoughts brought in at the meeting and TNC proceeded as an independent body andliaised with all other organizations BTF, TGTE country working group, TYO, TAFnationalists etc.As Tamils everyone rallied around our most respected leader S.J.V. Selvanayagamand the 1977 Vaddukoddai Resolution to find a reasonable and just solution for theTamils. Unity within our community was considered as the key for peaceful andnonviolent means of transformation with the help of the Global Politicians and theMedia as our diplomacy and strategy.Collectively the referendum was conducted successfully on 30 th & 31 st January 2010.Tamil National Council, 164 Pinner Road, Harrow, Middlesex HA1 4JJ.

Page 10 of 40

(b) Making serious inroads into the territories of the former Tamil Kingdom by asystem of planned and state-aided Sinhalese colonization and large scaleregularization of recently encouraged Sinhalese encroachments, calculated to makethe Tamils a minority in their own homeland,(c) Making Sinhala the only official language throughout Ceylon thereby placing thestamp of inferiority on the Tamils and the Tamil Language,(d) Giving the foremost place to Buddhism under the Republican constitutionthereby reducing the Hindus, Christians, and Muslims to second class status in thisCountry,(e) Denying to the Tamils equality of opportunity in the spheres of employment,education, land alienation and economic life in general and starving Tamil areas oflarge scale industries and development schemes thereby seriously endangering theirvery existence in Ceylon,(f) Systematically cutting them off from the main-stream of Tamil cultures in SouthIndia while denying them opportunities of developing their language and culture inCeylon, thereby working inexorably towards the cultural genocide of the Tamils,(g) Permitting and unleashing communal violence and intimidation against theTamil speaking people as happened in Amparai and Colombo in 1956;; all over thecountry in 1958;; army reign of terror in the Northern and Eastern Provinces in 1961;;police violence at the International Tamil Research Conference in 1974 resulting inthe death of nine persons in Jaffna;; police and communal violence against Tamilspeaking Muslims at Puttalam and various other parts of Ceylon in 1976 - all thesecalculated to instil terror in the minds of the Tamil speaking people, therebybreaking their spirit and the will to resist injustices heaped on them,(h) By terrorizing, torturing, and imprisoning Tamil youths without trial for longperiods on the flimsiest grounds,(i) Capping it all by imposing on the Tamil Nation a constitution drafted, underconditions of emergency without opportunities for free discussion, by a ConstituentAssembly elected on the basis of the Soulbury Constitution distorted by theCitizenship laws resulting in weight age in representation to the Sinhalese majority,thereby depriving the Tamils of even the remnants of safeguards they had under theearlier constitution, And,Whereas, all attempts by the various Tamil political parties to win their rights, by cooperatingwith the governments, by parliamentary and extra-parliamentaryagitations, by entering into pacts and understandings with successive PrimeMinisters, in order to achieve the bare minimum of political rights consistent withthe self-respect of the Tamil people have proved to be futile;; And,Whereas, the efforts of the All Ceylon Tamil Congress to ensure non-domination ofthe minorities by the majority by the adoption of a scheme of balancedrepresentation in a Unitary Constitution have failed and even the meagre safeguardsprovided in article 29 of the Soulbury Constitution against discriminatory legislationTamil National Council, 164 Pinner Road, Harrow, Middlesex HA1 4JJ. Page 11 of 40

have been removed by the Republican Constitution;; And,Whereas, the proposals submitted to the Constituent Assembly by the Ilankai TamilArasu Kadchi for maintaining the unity of the country while preserving the integrityof the Tamil people by the establishment of an autonomous Tamil State within theframework of a Federal Republic of Ceylon were summarily and totally rejectedwithout even the courtesy of a consideration of its merits;; And,Whereas, the amendments to the basic resolutions, intended to ensure the minimumof safeguards to the Tamil people moved on the basis of the nine point demandsformulated at the conference of all Tamil Political parties at Valvettithurai on 7thFebruary 1971 and by individual parties and Tamil members of Parliament includingthose now in the government party, were rejected in to by the government andConstituent Assembly;; And,Whereas, even amendments to the draft proposals relating to language, religion, andfundamental-rights including one calculated to ensure that at least the provisions ofthe Tamil Language (Special Provisions) Regulations of 1956 be included in theConstitution, were defeated, resulting in the boycott of the Constituent Assembly by alarge majority of the Tamil members of Parliament;; And,Whereas, the Tamil United Liberation Front, after rejecting the RepublicanConstitution adopted on the 22nd of May, 1972, presented a six point demand to thePrime Minister and the Government on 25th June, 1972, and gave three months timewithin which the Government was called upon to take meaningful steps to amend theConstitution so as to meet the aspirations of the Tamil Nation on the basis of the sixpoints, and informed the Government that if it failed to do so the Tamil UnitedLiberation Front would launch a non-violent direct action against the Government inorder to win the freedom and the rights of the Tamil Nation on the basis of the rightof self-determination;; And,Whereas, this last attempt by the Tamil United Liberation Front to winConstitutional recognition of the rights of the Tamil Nation without jeopardizing theunity of the country was callously ignored by the Prime Minister and theGovernment;; And,Whereas, the opportunity provided by the Tamil United Liberation leader toTamil people, by resigning from his membership of the National State Assembly andcreating a by-election was deliberately put off for over two years in utter disregard ofthe democratic right of the Tamil voters of Kankesanthurai, and,Whereas, in the by-election held on the 6th February 1975, the voters ofKankesanthurai by a preponderant majority not only rejected the RepublicanConstitution imposed on them by the Sinhalese Government, but also gave amandate to Mr. S.J.V.

Hampton & Kempton Waterworks Railway Project.Hon.President:The Markhole Allotment Association, Hampton, Mx.1986 2002: London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames Councillor for Hampton-on-ThamesMy Report as Election Monitor of the Tamil Referendum TKR 2010 in the London area.On Saturday and Sunday, 30th and 31st January 2010, I was collected by car from my home inHampton by Arun who proceeded to drive me to several Polling Booths to ascertain that theprocedures, as outlined in the excellent Handbook for Polling Station staff, were being followed asclosely as possible.We began our round of visits at Heston School which may not at first have beenseen to be the best example of how a Polling Station should be run because it was confined to one ofthe old classrooms. However, on close inspection and observation, I was satisfied that the staff wasaccurately following the procedures and responded to my searching questions positively and in apleasant manner - a manner which also put a lot of Voters at their ease in these novelsurroundings.The layout of the tables and the Voting Booths closely followed the advice in thehandbook, so after half an hour I felt we could proceed to the next Polling Station.That day Ivisited another six Polling Stations across London from Hayes to Waltham Forest and beyond, andalthough I saw several interesting interpretations of the advice on Polling Station layouts, it was onlyin one that I had to suggest a modest improvement to the positioning of the actual Booths.On the Sunday, I was again driven to another five disparate and widely distributed Polling Stationsacross London and just managed to reach Bromley, the last on my list, spot on 6.00 pm., just asvoting in the Referendum was coming to its eventual close. In every Polling Station which I visited,I was impressed by the sense of responsibility shown by every person involved in running, orobserving the running of, the Polling Stations. As far as I could see, the recommendations of theHandbook had been carefully followed, although sometimes neatly interpreted, but always as fully aslocal circumstances permitted.I had no problem with the way in which any Polling Station that Ivisited was run, and was full of admiration for the dedication of the volunteers. It was equallyimpressive to see how the security of the Ballot Boxes was observed. I would usually spend abouthalf an hour at each Station before moving on to the next.It was pleasant to notice that many of the organisers had taken the trouble to make arrangementsfor the helpers to have access to suitable refreshments during their long day although thepreparations were sometimes quite varied in quality and quantity. I was very pleased to have accessto the variety of interesting places which had been chosen to act as Polling Stations, and I was veryglad to have been invited as a neutral observer to help monitor this important Referendum - anunforgettable experience.Bryan WoodriffAuthor of: Twentieth Century Writing (Slavonic Section); New Soviet Foreign Language Teaching Methods; East-West Transfer ofTechnology, Fork-making and Farming in Shire Green; Kingston-upon-Thames as it was; The Tramways of Surrey;The Archaeology ofKingston-upon-Thames; Shire Green, Wincobank & Ecclesfield; Shire Green, Wincobank & Ecclesfield Memories; Fulwell Home touses;Shire Green, Wincobank & Beyond.Tamil National Council, 164 Pinner Road, Harrow, Middlesex HA1 4JJ.

In Italy, Sinhaleseexpatriates are large in numbers compared to Tamils who make only less than atenth of them.98.2 Percent vote for Tamil Eelam in Denmark4,147 out of an estimated 6,000 to 6,500 eligible Eelam Tamil voters in Denmarkparticipated in the referendum conducted by a third party professional institute onSunday and 98.2 percent of them voted yes for the formation of independent andsovereign Tamil Eelam in the contiguous north and east of the island of Sri Lanka.Denmark is the eighth country in the West where Eelam Tamils have overwhelminglydemonstrated their aspiration for independence through a series of referendaconducted among the Diaspora. Even though the population of Eelam Tamils inDenmark is relatively small, since their number is known with fair accuracy, the turnout and poll results are very significant in silencing detracting campaign against thevery democratic process of Tamil referendum, Diaspora circles said.
